‘Outside his window the crickets were building up a head of steam with their chorus that, for once, was scraping the skin off his thoughts, making them almost too sensitive to touch.Hannes’s words filtered back to him through the screech of insect violins, “But why do you even want to find it?”That was like asking Indiana Jones why he wanted to find the Ark of the Covenant.The thought of the Soul of the Zulu nation, the key to its unity and strength, rotting away in some pit, possibly within rifle-shot of where he lay, was eating him alive.’

While Zululand reels under the blows of a lunatic’s hammer, half-hearted schoolboy Craig's imagination ignites when he links an Anglo-Zulu War letter his grandfather bequeathed him, to his History teacher's mesmerising tale of the lost inKatha, ‘The Soul of the Zulu Nation’.However, in his feverish quest to find the relic he unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events which disturbs the dark equilibrium of forces in his hometown; forces both past and present, and steeped in malice.

Set in a small town in Zululand during the turbulent summer of 1983, Zululand Snow is the tale of a boy searching for a way to bring a glorious past back to life. It’s a tale of history and imagination, of folklore and legend, and the gravitational pull they exert on the marrow in a boy’s bones.

The ancient Ninja has a very mystical place in Japanese popular culture. The folklore surrounding ninja developed for hundreds of years in Japan before ninja were ever heard of overseas, so most of the legends about them are authentically Japanese.

Storytellers and authors have taken historical tales and built on them, creating a whole series of legends about Ninja’s incredible skills – even going so far as to suggest that they could turn themselves invisible, walk on water and that they had power over animals.

Unfortunately, with the long history of the Ninja and people stretching the truth about them, facts have become mixed up with myth. This often makes it difficult to tell the difference between fantasy and truth.

To be a missionary to Canadian Indians in the late 1800s meant you had to be brave and relentless. It meant nearly freezing when sleeping outside in 50-below-zero weather. It meant canoeing upstream for hundreds of miles to reach remote Indian villages. It meant eating wild cat and other stranger things, or eating nothing for days at a time. But it also meant you were privileged to present the good news of the true Great Spirit to those who were often misunderstood and mistreated. The adventures in this book are rivaled only by the incredible conversions of those who saw the Creator in nature and then worshipped Him too. You will be challenged and inspired by the results of one man who went where the Lord led, with little regard for himself.

Most math instruction comes to students in pre-packaged lessons, where the learning outcomes are often stated to students in advance, and the instruction is staged to align with some distant test question. In that scenario there’s little for the student to discover but a barrage of math facts presented with repetitive problem sets. It’s an unnatural process that tends to starve the brain, leading to a kind of hollow instruction. Discovering Mathematical Thought: Growing the Math Side of the Brain is an activities-based approach to training the mind to observe fundamental mathematical concepts. Math reasoning is then encouraged by extending those concepts to a variety of problem situations. Recommended for students grades 4-8.

It’s been eight years since the Second World War has ended – long enough for people to forgive and forget – but feelings of hate run deep in Norway against people like fifteen-year-old Katya Holberg and her family. Separated from her father when the Allies liberated Poland, Katya and the rest of her family are sent to an internment camp in Oslo where they’re eventually rescued by a Norwegian war hero. After four tumultuous years together, he brutally murders her sister, forcing Katya and her mother to seek refuge with her grandmother in faraway Droeback where Katya’s mother is murdered by villagers soon after their arrival. Fearing for her safety, Katya’s grandmother sends her to Klindenspiel, the only circus of its kind in Europe, where all of the performers are children. Once there, Katya quickly learns that all of the young performers share her terrible secret, making them more like her than she could ever have imagined. Things become complicated when Klindenspiel’s artistic director pairs Katya with Aleks, a good-looking but secretive seventeen-year-old, who’s skilled in acrobatics and dance. Curious about, and attracted to her new partner, Katya secretly follows him one night and learns the horrible truth behind Klindenspiel’s magic. With the curtains about to rise on Klindenspiel’s newest show, Katya and Aleks must give the performance of a lifetime – both on and off the stage – because their lives, and those of their fellow performers, are depending on it.
